(Very) early thoughts on the 2017 Lions

I would probably break my **** laughing if Roberts was picked. Would be a bit of a hoot all of the home nations' best ****posters united in disbelief.
Don't believe any of the speculation though. Gatland picking Roberts would take an unbelievable amount of pig headedness and ignorance I don't believe most humans to be capable of. I've long since doubted Gatland can be considered among that group of most people though. Dude is a ****ing monumental ****** ****.
EDIT: If you feel like that post had too much profanity it's actually had a decent amount of swearing edited down.

I honestly don't believe it, but if it is, Roberts surely has to be going as a midweek player to help teach the other the intricaces of Warrenball. Tbh the only reason Wales haven't mastered it is because it actually takes 37.6 years to master.

Edit: My turn to edit, I tried to take it seriously but I failed...miserably.

So fly halves as in 2013: Sexton and Farrell.

Centres: Roberts, Te'o, Henshaw and Davies.

Yep that feels like a Gatland selection is going to make.
 
Apparently Gatlands asked Lee Mears to come out of retirement for this lions tour..

heh.

I really hope Gatland has leaked all of this just for the lol's as it's all a bit suspicious that this many rumours are coming out, but I can't see it happening. Gatland has a way that he likes his teams to play and he will stick to it. The lions are getting a little taste of what Wales has been feeling!

I feel Roberts still has something to offer Wales as an impact sub, and I am a fan of his, but I just can't justify his selection over JJ. It's actual madness. I hope TRF/Twitter doesn't go into meltdown with the announcements tomorrow.

What would a TRF meltdown look like? 7 posts within the hour!?
 
I'd check the match thread of Wales V England in the world cup on England team selection then multiply that by 4 nations. Because that's the level of Lancasterian stupidity we are heading towards.

Roberts, JDavies and Biggar were all in Geech's hypothetical squad. There's no smoke without fire. It wouldn't surprise me if that was released to soften the shock factor.

We met Lee Mears in London during the World Cup. Think he was shocked he got recognised. Have a lovely pic with him.

What was lovely about it? What were you doing to the poor man?

No by all accounts he's a nice bloke.

I lifted up his top while Alpha Raspberried him. BG8 watched jealously from the wings.
 
Given that this is a speculation thread, should a new one be started tomorrow with the actual squad listed after it is announced?

Let's do a duet in the outrage discord. I was thinking we could sing this?
I vote we call the new thread the 'Alpha Bro Smugness fallout shelter'.
